Staying on top of lease portfolio takes time and effort–consistently. It is not a one-time process, or something that you do, when time permits. At the same time, there are some aspects of lease portfolio management that demand a lot of time initially and then, only minimal investment of time, on an ad-hoc basis. Lease abstraction is one such element. You will need accurate and comprehensive abstracts of all the leases in the lease portfolio in order to manage your lease portfolio efficiently. However, once the lease abstracts are ready and entered into your lease administration software platform, they’ll most likely only need to be updated in the event of any amendment to the original lease agreement. But, there are other elements in the lease management process that require consistent attention, and this is where most organizations fall behind.
Organizations are often short-staffed when it comes to lease administration due to numerous reasons, one of them being the high cost associated with the lease administration process as a whole. Lease administration resources are considerably expensive. Add to that the training and retaining costs that accumulate over time, the lease administration process in itself becomes costly.
Secondly, the rate of attrition is extremely high in the lease administration sector which affects time-sensitive lease portfolio management tasks as a result of which organizations fall behind on tasks like invoicing, reconciliation, CAM audits, and other timely updates.,
Outsourcing lease administration functions fully or even partly to a trusted lease administration company can help organizations stay on top of their lease portfolios and, at the same time, enjoy more cost-efficiency, scalability, and flexibility. Even organizations with in-house lease administrators can leverage the expertise and benefits that an outsourced lease administration vendor brings to the table. Some key benefits include-
- The obvious reduction in training and HR-related expenses that are a part of a large in-house lease administration team
- The flexibility to scale up or down their lease administration resources based on their lease administration needs
Partnering with a trusted lease administration service provider ensures you stay on track and don’t miss critical timelines due to resource constraints and have access to critical lease data that helps drive key strategic decisions in a timely manner.
